vue - How Weed Laws Are Failing the UK: High Society
High Society is a new VICE documentary series about drugs in the UK. Weed is the UK’s favourite illegal drug. An estimated half a million people use it for medicinal purposes, and many more just to get high. But while countries around the world move to decriminalise or even fully legalise smoking and growing weed – and in the face of British police de-prioritising the policing of cannabis – the UK’s government refuses to budge. When over 200,000 people signed a petition last year calling on Westminster to make the production, sale and use of weed legal, the government responded with a flat-out no. In this episode of High Society we explore how that approach to the issue shapes the UK’s weed culture, meeting growers, medical users, politicians and a couple of thieves in Birmingham who have come up with a novel way to make money off the country’s cannabis trade.

We elect politicians into power to serve us, and they are supposed to make laws to keep us safe. The illegality of Cannabis does not help keep any of us safe. It is now time for a mass rebellion against these laws that they refuse to change. I am calling for civil disobedience on a grand scale!

The irony is that under the shengen agreement other EU residents can legally bring 30 days worth of medical cannabis into the UK......wtf? By letting Beyer and DW produce a THC&CBD tincture the UK government department MHRA is admitting that cannabis is a medicine......but NICE won't let you have it because Beyer charge too much....WTF? It's a weed ! ......but the Home Office say "Substantial scientific evidence shows cannabis is a harmful drug that can damage human health. There are no plans to legalise cannabis as it would not address the harm to individuals and communities."........and the DVLA advise that police will not prosecute if you drive while using sativex if "in the opinion of a doctor is safe to drive".......so that all makes sense ...
